What is the algebraic equation of 13n + 7 = 5n - 20?

13n + 7 = 5n - 20
13n - 5n = -7 - 20
8n = -27
n = -27/8 (-3.375)

I presume you want this solved for n.

The equation is 13n+7 = 5n-20

Then 8n = -27

==> n = -27/8

13n + 7 = 5n - 20
13n-5n=-20-7
8n=-27
n=-27/8

13n + 7 = 5n - 20
-5n - 7 = -5n -7
---------------------------
8n = -27
/8 = /8
---------------------------
n = -27/8 = -3.375

n = -27/8

wow! that's an easy way to get answers for homework, huh?

8 n = - 27

n = - 27 / 8
